Austin Is Redesigning Its Bus Network for Light Rail - Which Option Is Best?

Описание: This week we dive into Austin's Transit Plan 2035. As the city is moving forward with plans for a light rail system that will break ground in 2027, Cap Metro is beginning to plan how the existing bus network will interface with the light rail. This plan is large and would be impossible to cover in it's entirety in one video, so we picked a few of the busiest, and most interesting changes to dive in to.
